You are a giant douche if you get shot in the pod while reloading and you continue to play on. A pod is an extension and it is not live any more until it hits the ground. I remember hearing from a Pro that that is the rule.

Depends on field and or tournament rules. I know some scenario fields like CQB in Toronto even gun hits don't count. But for most part it's true anything your holding or is in contact with your body (except or a bunker lol) that gets hit is an elimination.

I wouldn't go as far as saying "a giant douche" a pod hit could be easily missed.

Well....not really. It's pretty easy to feel it when it's in your hand.

People miss loader hits all the time, and that's usually somewhere near your head

That's different. The loader is heavy, as well as adding on to the marker. The pod...is empty for the most part. You feel the force more. It's like someone hitting the pod out of your hand. Youll feel it.
